we sat and prayed along the streets of beijing
the green willows, pine trees and eucalyptus in the morning sun with the blue skies
give peace and beauty
it is a great place
the streets are clean, the place looks orderly
people walking, cycling, riding motorcycles, cars, modern buses
god has blessed us with beautiful encounters
(and stuffed chinese meals!)
the readings of today on 'the vine and branches...
that it is the father's glory that we bear much fruits as disciples...
ask anything in my name and it will be granted...'
these are provocative statements
then why do we not have enough workers?
have we asked enough?
have we believed while asking?
have we asked in his name?
what does that mean?
we will take some time this morning to pray and dialogue among ourselves
truth can only emerge through listening
these are things to pray for - truth, listening, courage...
with love and prayers
a truly moving reflection.

have i listened enough?
have i listened from the different levels of my being?
i ask myself everyday - with love.
